Dialed In is most effective as a one run closer... you take him back and hope the race comes back to you. 99 times out of 100 in the Derby it does, and it looked like it would on paper going in.

He'll have a much better chance in the Preakness if Flashpoint goes, and Shackleford makes it to the gate.

With a better timed ride he definitely would have been 6th.

You don't think he beats Master of Hounds?

I say with a better ride, Dialed In's dosage would have kicked in and he'd have gotten there for 5th.

It is a head scratcher for me. All week, i heard from Zito he was special, special, special going back to last year. then.. you ride the derby and hope the pace comes back to you?

I am not a hater by any stretch but questionable ride & tactics seem like fair game for discussion
